Persistent Organic Pollutants

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are organic compounds of anthropogenic origin that
resist photolytic, biological or chemical degradation, leading to their
bioaccumulation in the food chain. They can be transported over long distances in the atmosphere, resulting in
widespread distribution across the earth including regions where
they have never been used. Owing to their toxic characteristics, they can pose
a threat to humans and the environment. In recent years, therefore, the international community
has called for urgent global action to reduce and eliminate the release
of POPs and to identify their possible risk to human health and the environment.
